Roanoke City and Alleghany Health Districts holds vaccine clinic for people with disabilities
ROANOKE, Va. – The Roanoke City and Alleghany Health Districts held a COVID-19 vaccine clinic specifically for people with disabilities Wednesday.
The once-coveted COVID-19 vaccine is now available to just about anyone who wants one but for many, available does not mean accessible.
“Afraid to go out, afraid to catch it because if I catch it, with my lungs, I’m a goner,” said Shelia Addair, who got her vaccine Wednesday. “People with disabilities like me can’t walk very far, we can’t get very far, we can’t stand, we can’t sit.”
